Inserts data to the stream.

The (1-8) versions of the operator behave as formatted output functions. That is, they construct a sentry object at the beginning that flushes the buffers if needed and checks for errors. The output is written only if the sentry object returns true.

1-4) Inserts an integer value

5) Inserts a floating point value

6) Inserts bool value

7) Inserts a generic pointer value

8) Inserts a character

9) Inserts a character string. The characters are extracted until a whitespace character is found.

10) Calls func(*this);

11) Inserts all data from sb. The insertion stops if one of the following conditions are met:

• end-of-file occurs on the input sequence;
• inserting in the output sequence fails (in which case the character to be inserted is not extracted);
• an exception occurs (in which case the exception is caught).
